The Fourth Prince married his wife, but it seems that nothing much has changed in his life.
Apart from having an extra wedding leave, the Fourth Prince spent those few days in his study with plenty of time; otherwise, he seemed no different from before he married his wife.
After living like this for a while, Duofu finally felt completely at ease.
He resumed his domineering ways in the prince's quarters, showing none of the previous worry or anxiety.
Duofu really wanted to ask the Fourth Prince to take her to meet his wife.
But for some reason, the Fourth Prince never agreed.
Duofu had said behind his back countless times that she was stingy, refusing to even let him glance at his wife, and that he would secretly go to see her later.
The Fourth Prince wasn't preventing him from seeing his wife; he simply didn't want his wife to see Duofu.
His own precious pet must be well hidden away, lest it be kidnapped by someone else.
His Dorfu was so handsome, with glossy, smooth fur, big fox-like eyes, and a sturdy body.
If his wife sees him and takes a liking to him, she'll come to the front yard to find Duofu all the time, and they'll spend too much time together.
What if that heartless little Duofu forgets about him?
If Su Peisheng could guess what his master was thinking, he would definitely give him a good scolding.
It's not that everyone who sees Duofu has a strong bias; even Duofu's yellowish-gray fur, which His Highness the Crown Prince criticized, is something else entirely.
Su Peisheng was certain that the Crown Prince had intended to say that Duofu was a bit rustic last time, but he was too embarrassed to say it because he had given the dog to the Fourth Prince himself.
Duofu is cute, but he's definitely not as good-looking as that little white fluffy thing from the beginning.
Before it turned white, its pure white fur made it look like it had a pure bloodline. Even with the most foolish eyes, you could sense its dignified and noble nature.
Now it's a domesticated puppy. It's still cute, but it's definitely not the same as before. Its slightly rustic yellow fur and those somewhat foolish eyes are gone. It has no more of its former elegance, only a silly look.
Of course, this is from Su Peisheng's perspective.
No matter how the Fourth Prince looked at it, he felt that his family was very fortunate. He even saw the yellow fur as luxurious and noble, and there was not a trace of dirt in it.
Putting everything else aside, I don't know if it's because Duofu really loves gold, but the yellow of his dog fur really does have a golden sheen, especially in the sun.
---
Duofu had no idea that Su Peisheng thought so highly of his golden fur. He preferred his previous white fur to the current yellowish-gray fur, which was less prone to getting dirty and looked more expensive, since it resembled the color of gold.
The Fourth Prince stayed in the front courtyard for dinner again tonight. Duofu counted on his fingers that the Fourth Prince was no different from not being married. Except for the first and fifteenth of each month, he would always go to the back courtyard to see his wife.
He only goes to the backyard a few times a month, and Duofu's eyes can't help but dart towards the Fourth Prince's crotch. Is this poop scooper impotent?
Otherwise, why would he seem uninterested in such matters? He had heard rumors from Su Peisheng and went to the Third Prince, who lived not far from them, and was quite energetic in that regard.
Don't let his refined and gentle appearance fool you; the Third Prince already has two children, and another one is still in his belly.
That's incredibly efficient; he's only a year older than his pet owner, and he's already a father.
Duofu's gaze was so blatant that it was hard for the Fourth Prince, who was reading a book nearby, not to notice. Following Duofu's gaze, he looked down at himself, and the Fourth Prince's face twisted in disbelief.
"Duoduo, what are you looking at?"
Duofu was still thinking in his head whether the Fourth Prince was not good enough, which was why he was not very enthusiastic about these things. Otherwise, why was the Third Prince, who was from the local area, so energetic, but the Fourth Prince was not enthusiastic at all?
This is very un-ancient.
Although it would be better if it were later, Duofu was more worried that his pet owner was not up to the task.
He had never heard that the Yongzheng Emperor was incompetent in his early years.
The words just slipped out without any thought or consideration.
"Fourth Brother, I'm wondering if you're not up to it, otherwise why do you always like to stay in the front yard?"
He ignored his beautiful wife in the backyard and spent his days reading those tattered books in the front yard.
He didn't dare say the last sentence aloud; Duofu could clearly sense that the atmosphere in the room had changed.
Duofu raised his head and looked at the Fourth Prince, whose expression was as dark as ink, and nervously swallowed.
His body betrayed him by moving back a little; he was old enough now that he couldn't bear the shame of being punished with a spanking.
The Fourth Prince was furious. He didn't know where his son, Duofu, had learned to behave this way. It must have been those strange picture books that corrupted his adorable Duofu.
"Duoduo, who taught you all this? Which lackeys are gossiping behind your back?"
"It's still those messy picture books you've been reading."
Duofu instantly sensed something was wrong, but before he could say anything...
"Anyway, you'll be starting your studies soon, so these kinds of words shouldn't be said in the prince's quarters anymore."
Duofu was instinctively unwilling and was about to refute when he met the Fourth Prince's domineering gaze that left no room for refusal.
Although his tone remained gentle, it carried an undeniable firmness that left no room for refusal.
Duofu realized that no matter how much he threw a tantrum, all of his storybooks would be gone. He should have thought things through before he spoke.
He's so angry!!
Su Peisheng had just bought this book, and he hadn't even read it much yet. He had already lost a lot of money.
The Fourth Prince looked at the large, unhappy boy not far away, who was hanging his head and clutching his sleeves. His voice was low and gentle, yet carried a hint of the domineering nature of a superior.
"come over."
These two short words, spoken by the current Fourth Prince, were enough to make Duofu have no intention of resisting. Although he was unwilling, his body obediently moved forward.
The Fourth Prince looked at Duofu, who was moving slowly like a tortoise, and with a wave of his long arm, he grabbed Duofu and put him on his lap.
"I think I've been too lenient with you in the past, which is why you had time to look at all that nonsense."
"You'll start your education tomorrow, so you won't have the mind to meddle in my affairs at such a young age."
Duofu stubbornly insisted.
"I...I was just worried about you."
“Look at the Third Prince next door. He’s only a year older than you, and he’s almost a father of three.”
"You...you didn't have a single one..."
After Duofu finished speaking, he quickly buried his head in the Fourth Prince's arms. As long as he hid his face, he would definitely not be caught. Moreover, his buttocks were firmly planted on the ground, so it was not easy for him to be hit.
The Fourth Prince was completely unaware that Duofu was hiding his face because he was afraid he would scratch his chubby little face; he thought Duofu was scared.
Otherwise he would be even angrier.
